Yes, it's me, pestering all of you moms out there!


Chris (14) says that kids in high school don't wear winter coats.

My 16 yr old son would agree with this! I think they want more style instead of down filling! LOL! A friend of his has a really cool one that looks like a really heavy sweatshirt jacket but the inside is thick lamb's wool looking stuff. My son has a ski jacket he'll wear when its pouring down snow outside but otherwise it's the sweatshirt with layers of shirts underneath.

My son (who would wear shorts in December if allowed!) got this coat from Abercrombie kids for Christmas. (i hope this link works)

It was kind of expensive but he will hopefully get 2 seasons out of it. He just LOVES it!

Abercrombie kids also has zip up hoodies that are totally fleece lined just like this jacket. I saw lots of jr high kids with these as there coats too.

I still have abercrombie clothes from when I was in my early 20's. It wears very well and still looks brand new.

DS (15) did not want a coat last year so I got him a warm hoodie and he layered (Underarmour, tshirt, long-sleeve shirt, hoodie). He says he wants a "jacket" this year, but not a "puffy" coat.

What about a leather jacket? I have a long one that is warmer than my winter coat (although I'm sure a boy wouldn't wear a long one). Or a lighter jacket with a hoodie underneath? It's probably the way my son will go this year.
